Backpack Drive 2024

Before you know it, summer vacation will be over and it will be time for kids to go back to the classroom.  Like many of the recent years, the upcoming school year will be stressful on children and their parents.  Often times, preparing a child for school is overlooked or just set aside because of finances.  While the problem may not seem catastrophic or critical, it is important and one that can be easily resolved.

To accomplish that, A Lot of Good is holding a backpack drive to help children be prepared for a successful school year.

“Our goal is to provide children fully stocked backpacks for the new school year,” said Sandy Cappelli, President and founder of A Lot of Good. “We are working with our community partners to distribute the backpacks to children in need entering grades K through 12.”

A list of items needed to fill the backpacks can downloaded from the A Lot of Good website by clicking the link below. This year all backpacks, supplies and donations need to be received by July 10, 2024. Deliveries should be made to:

A Lot Of Good, 1980 W. Foothill Blvd, Upland, CA 91786.  

For those that are short on time and would still like to make a donation, a $30.00 donation can help purchase the supplies for these children. Donations can be made online by clicking here.
